My great-grandfather and his brothers has secured records and done the work for many of their ancestors in the Logan temple just prior to this manifestation. I am proud of my ancestors. They have been a great inspiration to me to try and live my life in a manner that I will not bring shame to their great name. I want my children and grandchildren to remember their pro¬ genitors and to share the same pride I feel.

One evening in February 1896, as Apostle Marriner W. Merrill was traveling from Logan to Richmond, he noticed the Logan temple sud¬ denly become illuminated from the dome to the foundation with a blaze of light. Many residents of Logan also noticed this and many wondered what had caused this oc¬ currence. It was later established that this was a spiritual manifesta¬ tion. President Wilford Woodruff said ‘!it was an assembly of the great Hale family from the spirit world, who had gathered within those sacred wall in exultation over their liberation through the benefi¬ cent ministrations in their behalf'\

All of you can relate stories of your ancestors that are just as thrill¬ ing and exciting as the story I told. All of you feel the same pride in the accomplishments of your ancestors and I am sure all of you want your children and grandchildren and even great grandchildren to remember their ancestors and to honor their heritage.

then tell them stories of their il¬ lustrious ancestors. To actually see the ancestors name in front of them will he far more meaningful than just to hear the name repeated. A few years ago we took our two youngest sons hack East to visit many of the church historical places and also many places where our nation was horn. This brought these events into these boys minds very dramatically. They knew their great grandfather had lived in Nauvoo but to actually see his name on a plot in the visitors center made this event very real to them. They insisted we take the time to figure out just where their great-grandfathers house had been. These plaques can do the same thing. Your grandchildren will realize these names they have heard were actual people, People who sacrificed every thing they possessed that we might have the opportunity to live as we do now. Be sure you are not found wanting. They gave their all. You need to only to give a small amount of money. Be sure you show your appreciation for their sacrifice by placing their names on a plaque in our new building.

It is evident that this issue of the PIONEER is unique and special in several ways. With increased advertising, our new building fund¬ raising program and a special issue for SUP activities in Arizona, it doesn’t seem likely that we will be able to get into this issue all that we would like or even that which has been promised. If any items should be deleted they will turn up in the next issue.
Seminar sessions will commence at 3:00 p.m. with discussions of: “More effective chapter leadership and organization, " “What our new national headquarters will mean to each chapter, “How to expand your chapter membership," “How to immortalize your membership, " "SUP funding in the IPSO’s," "The auxiliaries of SUP," “Chap¬ ter proliferation in the '80Js," “How to feature and publicize the * Pioneer of the Month'." Current reports of the construction program of our new national home, pioneer memorials, and new chapters will be made by the national officers.

Ado (Jim) Maiben Magleby was bom in Richfield, Utah, a son of Parley and Elizabeth Maiben Magleby. He spent his childhood in Richfield and later moved to Salt Lake City where he met and married Ruth Ross on April 16, 1942, in the Salt Lake Temple. They have four children and 11 grandchildren.
Jim started working for Otto Buehner 8t Company when he mov¬ ed to Salt Lake, and worked for that company for 38 years. He is now retired. Among the large jobs Jim has worked on during his stay with Buchner's have been many Temples for the Church. In 1977, he was called to go to Sao Paulo, Brazil, to make the white cast stone facing for the first Temple in South America. He cast the large maps of the world on the Church High Rise Building, and also made the cast stone facing on the DUP Building and the Relief Society Building.
The month of January would be an appropriate time to honor the chapter president who served your chapter during 1980.
Jim is a member of the East Mill Creek Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers, and enjoys his association with this group very much.

We suggest that other chapters consider Honoring their past presidents and when ordering the plaques forward their checks to our office. (Checks should be based on $ 13.00 per plaque and include mail¬ ing costs or arrange to come to our office and pick them up.) In addi¬ tion, each past president's name should be correctly spelled and also the year he served”
Jim is a descendent of Pioneers on both sides of his family. His grand¬ father Magleby came in a covered wagon and his grandfather Maiben came with a handcart company. Grandfather Maiben helped build many of the handcarts used by that company and he was the repairman for the handcarts that broke down as they came across the plains.

Later, in 1877-78-79 era, Lehi was settled in the Salt River Valley in what was to become Mesa, Arizona* As an off-spring of this group the Merrill brothers, and others, went to the Gila Valley and established Ft* Thomas, Pima, Thatcher, Safford, Solomonsville, and other Mormon towns, including Duncan, later St. David was established along the original Mor¬ mon Battalion trail, and even earlier Pipe's Springs, Littlefield, Fredonia and other small places were established in northwestern Arizona in what is now called the Strip Country north of the Grand Can¬ yon, which is all north of the Grand Canyon, south of the Utah border. Of course, much earlier, Jacob Hamblin and his associates went in¬ to what is now known as Arizona

In 1876, Lot Smith was Presi¬ dent of the Eastern Arizona Settle¬ ment on the Little Colorado in what is now Navajo-Apache Counties of east-central Arizona* Among others, the names of these settlements were: Sunset, near what is now Winslow; Joe City, along the soonto-be-built Sante Fe Railroad* A lit¬ tle later Pres* Jessie Nathaniel Smith was called from Parowan, Utah to become President of the Eastern Arizona Stake, which later became the Snowflake and St* Johns Stakes, including the towns of Snowflake, Taylor, St* Johns, Eagar (Amity), and later Lakeside, Showlow, Pine Top area* Later when the railroad came through, Holbrook became the disbursing point for freight and mail to these settlements* There was also a dairy farm and cheese making plant up near Mormon Lake Coun¬ try, now so-called. Brigham Young had sent a company down to the Flagstaff area in 1874, but they became discouraged and turned around and came back across Lee's Ferry on the Colorado River and did not take over the spring that John W. Young had homesteaded in what is now Flagstaff, Arizona, allowing the five Babbitt brothers to take over this choice spot.

Later Mormon settlements and farming communities were settled wherever water could be procured. Some ol the leaders in the establish¬ ment of these communities were Jessie Nathanial Smith, Snowflake; David 1C UdalL St. Johns; Joseph UdalL Amity-Eager area; Christo¬ pher Layton and Andrew Kimball in the Gila Valley; Alexander Mc¬ Donald and many others in the Mesa area.

This has been a busy and success¬ ful year for the chapter. Many new members have joined us and felt that special bond of friendship. This has been accomplished thru tne monthly dinners and the special activities that have been held. Since no report has been made for the events held, this recap is offered to let the SUP know that we are very much alive. During 1980 six activities outside the din¬ ners were held. Thanks to the Trek and Trail Committee, Wally Bates, chairman, with Jos. (Joe) Brown as co-chairman, the following events took place.
* WORK ON JORDAN RIVER TEMPLE PROGRESSES
Probably more musicians and school leaders and prominent people in all walks of life came out of these small Mormon communities than any other place in the State of Arizona.
Now Arizona has approximately 160,000 Mormons scattered throughout the State. The descendents of these early Mormon pioneers from Utah into Arizona are leaders in business, the arts, in government, in manufacturing and in all phases of community life in this very rapidly growing State, in¬ cluding the steadily increasing number of Chapters of Sons of Utah Pioneers.

(3) The Lagoon Picnic was on July 21st, Eighty of the chapter en¬ joyed this day. The main attraction to the SUP was the PIONEER MUSEUM. This collection is mark¬ ed as one of the nations very best display of pioneer artifacts.

In 1885 Pres. Smith, with others, finally were able to help the brethren find a place of refuge in Old Mexico in the State of Chihuahua. It wasn't until after the turn of the century when a man named Heber Jarvis was elected to the Territorial Senate where his one vote majority eliminated govern¬ ment persecution of the Mormon Polygamists in Arizona.
(2) Black Hills Trek, held June 21-28, forty-six members par¬ ticipated. The first night was spent in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where we saw the production "Hello Dolly,f, Day two, we visited Colter Bay Visitor Center, Yellowstone National Park, the LDS Chapel to see the very unusual mural and then to see the Wild Bill Cody Museum. On the third day we went through the Black Hills and saw the Passion Play "Story of Christ". For the fourth day, more of the Black Hills then on to Mount Rushmore for the scenic attraction of the day. Day

This early musical expression was provided by brass bands, choirs, in¬ dividual singing and the playing of musical instruments. The musical in¬ strument collection in Pioneer Village includes an old-fashioned juke box called a Multi-phone, a Baby Grand and an automated violin, quite a mechanical feat for those days, named a Violano Vir¬ tuoso, The large square piano in the collection is similar to the one Ann Brooks so lovingly brought across the plains from Nauvoo.

On any given day during the summer, the strains of a honky-tonk piano, a piano concerto, banjo plucking or even a violin solo can be heard coming from the little Music Shop on Main Street in Pioneer Village. The Shop houses a beautiful collection of the types of instruments the Utah pioneers enjoyed.

In August of 1855 a concert band was organized to visit the northern settlements of the Territory. That was the beginning of an era in music that has lasted more than 100 years. The band. The Utah area had a host of bands and orchestras that rivaled any American city. From Dommico Ballo's Social Hall Orchestra to the Lake Park Orchestra. (Incidentally, Lake Park is the original Lagoon of the 1890's, and this orchestra played in what is now the Lake Park Terrace at Lagoon.) Some of the familiar bands of the Pioneer times included the Ebenezer Beesley Band, the Sweeten Orchestra (which played at Saltair), the Mineer Band ana Orchestra and the Deseret Brass Band of Farmington. The brass bands, always used to greet impor¬ tant visitors, usually consisted of clarinet, flute, trombone, cornet, bass drum and tin whistle.

George Careless from Brigham Young, ££ Brother George, I have a mission for you. I want you to be the chief musician of the Church. I want you to take the Tabernacle Choir and the theatre orchestra and lay a foundation for good music. “
MUSIC IN PIONEER UTAH Ron Van Woerden
Music played an important part in the development of Utah Pioneer history. In fact, music contributed greatly to westward expansion, as William Clayton, in his journal wrote, “The Nauvoo Brass Band played concerts throughout various settlements in the Mid-west to earn funds to help in the great migration westward. '' And, on the trek across the plains, the travel-weary Pioneers were entertained by the William Pitt Brass Band.

The Music Shop in Lagoon s Pioneer Village houses many of these instruments. Some of the col¬ lection was brought across the plains and others are antiques built in Pioneer Utah. They are displayed to be heard and enjoyed just as the Utah Pioneer's did more than 100 years ago.
THE ABOVE REPRESENTA¬ TION OF THE LAPEL PIN IS THAT OF THE PIN THAT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER OR IT CAN BE PICKED UP AT THE NA¬ TIONAL HEADQUARTERS, 3357 SOUTH 2300 EAST BE¬ TWEEN 1:00 and 5:00 ON MONDAY, WEDNESDAY OR FRIDAY AFTERNOONS. PRICE: $3.50 EACH.
After arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, the residents needed diver¬ sion. Music filled that void perfect¬ ly. One of the first musical in¬ struments actually made in Utah (then called the Territory of Deseret) was a harp constructed in Brigham Young's carpenter shop. The harp was put in a wagon and pulled from home to home to pro¬ vide pioneer entertainment. Another of the early instruments made in Utah include a bass viol, built in 1854 at a cost of $30.00.
Union Fort chapter historian, Steve Madsen, is compiling a 225-page book on the early residents and history of pioneers at that time, 1847 to the turn of the century. Another project in progress is the compiling of individual ancestral histories and this will con¬ tinue to be a project for the future.

As we approached the city of Idaho Falls we saw the spires of the temple, A feeling of gratitude came over us, for this beautiful building. We were privileged to have in our group brother and sister LaMar Gardner. They had recently fulfilled an 18 month mission at this temple and visitors center. In the visitor's center they told us of many faith promoting stories that had happened there.
They will enter the mission home in Provo on January 7th, 1981.

Furthermore we can send you copies of letters sent out to family groups that have been most successful in raising PIONEER MEMORIAL PLAQUES,
At this point in time, the building site has been dedicated and cornerstone has been laid. We are projecting an 8,000 square-foot building that is located at 3299 East Louise Ave. (2920 South), on the south canyon walls of Parley's Hollow and Parley*s Canyon where there is a commanding view of Salt Lake Valley.
IF YOU DONATE $100:
descendents will look with pride upon the wall of this National Society, Sons of Utah Pioneers building to know that someone cared for the pioneer ancestry that have us our cherished way of life.
The $400,000 administration building is expected to be completed in the summer of 1981. Beside a 40' x80' banquet hall the structure will feature a pioneer historical library. Eventually we will want you to donate a copy of your pioneer family history, or diary, to further memorialize our western pioneers, MEMORIAL PLAQUES WILL HONOR OUR PIONEERS. The plaques will sell for $100 each name, for pioneers who came before 1869, the link-up of the transcontinental railroad, or, for those pioneers who arrived in the valley after that date, for it is wellknown that many pioneers entering after 1869 were truly pioneers in every sense of the word. (Brigham Young sent many pioneers to all parts of the West to live and conquer the West as pioneers.) The contribution then is $ 100 for a husband and $ 100 for his wife, $200 per couple.

This is what the Indians called the creek that flowed past Suicide Rock and down through Sugar House* For years beyond recall they had wandered up the canyon to fish and hunt and camp on its banks* The beginning of Obit-Ko-Ke-Che creek was near the summit of the Wasatch Mountains and was formed from several smaller streams. One came down from Big Mountain and was later known as East Canyon Creek* Another came from the canyon to the south, later known as Lambs Canyon and two smaller streams known by the pioneers as Summit Creek and Hatch Creek.
From Sugar House Obit-Ko-KeChe flowed in a northwesterly direc¬ tion and was first joined by a stream later known as Emigration Creek, a short distance further on it was join¬ ed by Ombit-o-pah Creek (Mill Creek). The three streams flowed together to join the Jordan River somewhere near Fifth South.

THE SAGA OF OBIT-KO-KE-CHE CREEK
Dr, Evan Perkins, vice president of the National Society of the SUP, was master of ceremonies for the oc¬ casion, the ribbon-cutting was done by James M. Smith, Grand Presi¬ dent of the Native Sons of the Golden West and Jean Hedemark, Grand Marshal of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, Other organizations, including the Eldorado County Historical Society, were also represented in the ceremony.
September 6, 1980 was declared ^Mormon Emigrant Trail Day*’ by the Board of Supervisors of Eldorado County, California, honoring the memory of the pioneers who con¬ structed and used that road follow¬ ing the discovery of gold in Califor¬ nia. Members of the Sierra chapter of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers and the Sacramento Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers joined other historic and civic groups at a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by a large gathering at Brown Rock and Over¬ look Vista in the high Sierras, These ceremonies officially opened the last five mile stretch of new highway which is constructed over what was the first west to east road from Cali¬ fornia. Mormon Battalion boys leav¬ ing the California gold fields behind them to join their families in Utah blazed this trail in 1848, opening a way just in time for the gold rush from the east. It is estimated that 40,000 persons came overland in 1849 alone, most of them using this Mormon Battalion trail and this trail continued to be heavily used for several years until better routes were developed.

Obit-Ko-Ke-Che Creek had a seemingly uneventful existence, ex¬ cept in the late Spring or early Sum¬ mer, when its banks were full and overflowing, rushing down the can¬ yon in torrents and this went on year after year, until the Pioneers came. Obit-Ko-Ke-Che would now be given another name* The pioneers (continued on page 16)

Paul Jarvis Updike is married to Nancy beta Bench, herself the pro¬ duct of a pioneer background, especiallv in the Sanpete area in Utah. Tney are the parents of seven children and currently the grand¬ parents of twenty-four grand¬ children. All of their seven children graduated from B.Y.U. Four went on for advanced degrees. Six of the seven filled missions for the church, all were married in the temple, beta and Paul were officiators in the Mesa Arizona Temple for eleven years.
sion and two short-term missions after his marriage to beta, He has been a photographer and businessman in Phoenix, Arizona since 1932, In 1954 he entered the real estate profession. He says that he is “tired but not retired1' now that he is spending almost full time as Vice-President at-large of the SONS OF UTAH PIONEERS. Recently he and Spencer D. Madsen, V.P, for Southern Arizona, organized the Andrew Kimball Chapter in Arizona's Gila Valley, comprising Pima, Thatcher, Safford and Fort Thomas members. St, David which is situated on the Mormon Battalion Trail will shortly be organized with a Mormon Battlation Company in addition. Seven of its members are the descendents of Philemon C. Merrill, adjudent to the Battalion in 1846,
Likewise Paul's life was begun on the go and he has been going and traveling ever since. He has crossed this nation approximately 50 times to date, traveling by every means except by horse and wagon.

Susan Janet Smith had been born in Parowan while her father Jesse was President for the second time of the Scandinavian Mission, It was said two years later when her father Jesse Nathaniel tried to take her into his arms upon his return from the mission field that she was frightened and tried to hide from him. Janet Jarvis, the fifth child of Heber Jarvis and Susan Janet Smith, was born in Eagar, Apache County, Arizona where her father Heber was called to colonize in 1882, She was the daughter of a skilled blacksmith, carpenter, farmer and politician who ultimately became the father of 8 boys and 7 girls, seven of whom are still living in 1980.

Always a student of history, Paul followed that bent into college hav¬ ing done his student teaching at B.Y.U. under the eminent historian and author, Eugene Campbell, who specialized in American Western Ex¬ pansion, authoring biographies of some of the intermountain West's prominent leaders,
Thus Paul J. Updike is a true Son of Utah Pioneers in the 20th Cen¬ tury, He envisions 30 chapters in Arizona before the 1982 Encamp¬ ment in Mesa, The nation wide chapters should reach 100 in this same time period, which will be met says Paul Updike if his vision for the SONS OF UTAH PIONEERS is vindicated.
The oldest child of his third wife was Susan Janet Smith Jarvis, her mother Janet Mauretta Johnson was the daughter of Joel Hills Johnson, author of “High On The Mountain Top“ as well as 6,000 other poems. He pioneered eleven com¬ munities in Utah, Janet Mauretta Johnson was born in Salt Lake City in 1848, the daughter of Janet Fife of Scotland.
PAUL J. UPDIKE V,P, AT LARGE
The pioneer maiden Janet became Paul Updike's mother on February 2, 1919 in St, Johns, Arizona. Paul was brought up on the go, having gone to 19 grade schools, 5 high schools and 3 colleges. His father Lisle Chandler Updike Sr, was salesman, photographer, inventor and businessman, who had traveled across the nation by team and wagon from East Texas to New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona
Paul grew up in the photographic business and filled three stake mis¬ sions—one of which was under Stake President Delbert L. Stapley as his Stake Mission President. Dur¬ ing his three year tenure his mis¬ sionaries baptized 539 converts. Paul also filled three other missions to the southland. One full-time mis-

There were four Secondary dit¬ ches and their rights were honored in order of their priority and they could not draw more than seventy-two and half second feet of water in any one season. The largest of the Secondary Ditches was the Pleasant View which was taken out at Suicide Rock, It served about 400 acres of high up farm lands in the area north of Parley 's Hollow, It no doubt was the ditch which flowed through the flume running over the beautiful sandstone arch, still to be seen in the bottom of the hollow on the north side, near the old Dudler Saloon and Inn,

vided water for 33 acres of bench land which was a part of Parley's Ward, The Kennedy, this was the largest of the primary rights ditches. It supplied water for 864 acres and it was taken out near Seventeenth East and flowed westward along the north hillside of the hollow until it came to Thirteenth East and there made a turn and ran directly to Ninth South. The Rockwood, it was the next ditch, being taken out be¬ tween the Kennedy and the County Road, which ran along Eleventh East, It watered 76 acres. The South Saunders, it was taken out just east of the County Road and watered 232 acres of Sugar House. The North Saunders, it was taken out just west of the Sugar House center and it watered 440 acres. The Sperry, it was taken out between 18th and 19th South on Seventh East and watered 263 acres. The Tumbow, it was taken out at about Sixth East and Eighteenth South and it watered 547 acres. The rest of the Primary Rights shares went to two woolen mills in the mouth of the canyon and their allowance was 19 acres. The last was the Sugar Mill with an allowance of 5 acres. In all, the Primary Rights ditches watered 2,479 acres.
The last of the secondary ditches was the Parley’s Canyon Surplus Canal, It was taken out about a naif a mile above Suicide Rock and flow¬ ed southward.
Parley's Creek being the largest of the streams close to Salt Lake City would now have to go to work to help support the Pioneers who were coming into the Valley in ever increasing numbers. It is said that as many as twenty different mills were scattered along the course of the stream, all depending on the water from Parley's Creek. At the same time families were moving into the upper canyon area and establishing ranches, a church, a school and several inns all using the water from Parley’s Creek or its smaller tributaries, Emphriam Hanks started this move when he established a ranch at Mountain Dell in 1858.
to Ninth South and from Thirteenth East to the Jordan River. They also served part of the Ten Acre Plat south of Twenty-first South, Each farmer had his watering turn for a stated time and number of hours at regular intervals and it was his responsibility to take his water¬ ing turn on time, no matter what the hour or the day.
The George and Charles Crismon ditches were taken out below the Decker, below Suicide Rock and watered lands south of Parley *s Hollow, Because of the irregular flow of surplus water, George Cris¬ mon built a large successful storage reservoir, Charles Crismon started one but didn't finish it.

By 1880 Salt Lake City's population had grown to 20,000 and in 1888 to 40,000 and even before this it had become apparent, the water problem was not merely affecting agriculture, gardening and the growing of trees in the valley but the actual sustenance of the peo¬ ple themselves, (To be continued in the next issue of the PIONEER)
Each of these ditches served the farms in the Five Acre Plat extend¬ ing from Twenty-first South, north
The Territorial Legislature estalished a Water Commission re¬ sponsible for the supply and use of ihe water in the streams running into the Valley both for culinary ana irri¬ gation purposes. The use of the water from Parley's Creek was divided up into shares of Primary Rights and Secondary Rights, There were seven ditches with Primary Rights, they were: The Decker, which was the highest of the Primary Rights ditches. It was taken out just below Suicide Rock and pro¬

It was in 1860 after the completion of the toll road up Ogden Canyon that the first settlers of Huntsville built the Huntsville fort. The site, called Hawkins' Grove, was on the north bank of the south of Ogden River just East of the present Pine View Reservoir. This fort was the last of ten built in the general area known today as Weber County.
